We are offering 6 set departures guided by Robin to Liuwa Plain, ranging between 3 & 4 nights each based at King Lewanika Safari Lodge (NCS) : Liuwa Plains is home to many antelope species that are rare in other locations such as roan, red lechwe, steinbuck, oribi, duiker and the occasional roans and tsessebe. African Parks has re-introduced eland and buffalo and their numbers are expected to increase. The area is famous for its abundant birdlife as a mix of plains and woodland allow a larger diversity of species. More unusual species include pink throated longclaw, sooty chat, black winged pratincoles and wattled cranes. The rolling grasslands and diversity give rise to many superb photographic opportunities.

We can also arrange safaris to Liuwa on dates to suit you and which can include safaris to the vast and diverse Kafue National park, as well as to all of Zambia's other wildlife areas, and beyond.
